Needless to say, I'm in. I spent a week at Dolly Sods last July, and it was sunny for the first six days. On the seventh day ... ... I was inspired to design a better method of using a poncho as a pack cover.
There are three or four ways to get to the Forks area of Red Creek, including Happy Camper's suggested route from the campground via the Blackbird Knob Trail (nice!). If we have a large number of participants, we might divide up and use different routes to converge on the Forks for a group hang.

Man, I'm so there! I did my first BP to Dolly Sods last August, and it was stunning! I'm also going up to the Cranberry this May. Here's a link to the hike we did up at the Sods. http://www.midatlantichikes.com/id116.html
I may try to do a hike up there this spring, and I'll keep an eye out for good campsites.

It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.
